This was the case that originally peaked my interest into true crime type of content I went to highschool in San Jose so I always wondered what happened to her, great content.
A case suggestion: Shaariibuugiin Altantuya, a mongolian, was killed brutally in Malaysia. Despite its’ horrendous and violent nature, justice was not served. She had a child, and his father desperately went after the killers, but to bi avail. I used to run into him at a bank nearby, and you could tell from his eyes that he was exhausted emotionally and physically. I hope you could cover this case and not let her become forgotten 😩
It’s crazy that the school didn’t notify mom that Sierra was absent until after school hours. Our local districts have always sent an automated call at 10 am if your kid is absent. Heaven forbid your child be abducted like Sierra… by 5 pm you’re already 8+ hours behind.
In my country South Africa, we don't have any system of notification. If a child is absent, they are absent- no biggie. We need a system like yours but as you say, an improved system.
@@claudiabothma I also live in SA and at my children's school we do actually get a notification if the child is absent, sent via an app which the school uses to communicate all school-related news. I guess it differs from school to school though, but there is that option open for schools in SA.
@@hk6969 I live in the outer metro-Atlanta area, US. Even though we are still fairly rural, we’ve had this system since I was a small kid in school, some 30ish years ago.
We raised our 3 daughters in Morgan Hill and our Grandson went to high school with Sierra. It was a shock to our community when Sierra went missing since many of our children walked to their bus stops. And her killer worked at a store that I shopped at all of the time. I just wish that her killer would man up and reveal where he has hidden Sierra's body for her family's sake. R.I. P. Sierra, wherever you maybe. You will never be forgotten.
I truly doubt that Sierra's Killer will ever let her whereabouts be known...narcissists with sociopathic personalities love knowing they have secrets and of being in control of everything and everyone. Plus, Sierra obviously rejected him and made him question his "power" and God syndrome. I read this...;)
Like you , I have a close relationship to Sierra. My sister , who lives in Fremont, is an acquaintance with Sierra’s mother. Hate when these crimes hit so close to home. May Sierra rest in peace, especially since they caught the responsible person. It would be nice if they finally find her and her family can have closure.
She is in God's care , he can hide her body but her soul belongs with God and he could not take that away for her or her family, rest in eternal peace Sierra🙏❤️
I grew up in Fremont, and remember this case. I followed it very closely and it still brings tears to my eyes. Well done Adrian. Thank you for covering this case.
My niece's husband works with Sierra's stepdad and he was one of those volunteers who was looking for her when she first went missing. I remember hearing how her stepdad was devasted by this.
he was accused of molesting I believe 8 / 9 year old friends of Sierra when she would have sleepovers at her home while she still lived in fremont. Different friends at different times! 😢😢 he told police when the investigation started so he wouldnt be one of the accused Sierra would write about it in her journal, she was upset that he had been sent to jail over " something he didnt do " which was found in her journal
It's ridiculous how the killer feels justified how innocent they are yet never explains their side. I hope her family gets all the peace they need. I really wish people didn't have to go through this...
I'm thinking he believes it because he sold her rather than actually killed her. He probably would have traded the body location in a deal, had he known where to find it. The odds of her surviving till now are pretty much 0 if so though, sadly.
They either don't admit fault or give terrible excuses. It's laughable whenever they claim it was an accident because if it was, then why didn't they call 911? Oh, you were scared? Not calling is just gonna make you look guilty so it's best to get ahead of it, but of course they usually don't think about that.
I lived in Morgan Hill, Gilroy, San Jose, and Campbell for most of my young life. I remember when this whole thing happened. It was a terrible thing that happened. I would go to the bowling alley, movie theaters, and the safeway where that scumbag tried to kidnap his first would be victims. It was very scary knowing a monster like this was in our town. This story Breaks my heart
Hey Coffeehouse, thanks for covering this story! Just FYI, it's Sobrato (I see it written as Sobreto on your video). I moved to the Morgan Hill area around that time and lived a few yards away from Sobrato. That whole area is very empty, a lot of field. I don't know how it looks like these days, since I moved to San Jose. I remember when this happened; I walked everywhere alone, so I was terrified going to my bus stop every morning. I remember looking through tall grass as I walked because I thought I would find something of value, or even thought I'd find Sierra....a sad case all around. I hope someday they find her remains.
Wow March 16th is my birthday, and also March 16 2012 is when I moved to the US. Crazy to think the day my life was changing for the better, someone else’s was being ruined
I can’t believe wirh all wvidence besides finding her the guy trues to say hes not gulty. You mentioned the guy said he was going out fishing… if they have not searched the rivers and lakes, they should look in the waters. I hope the family gets closure. R.i.p. Sierra.
I can't believe how lonely and remote this location was for a young girl to be travelling to and from. (poor girl had NO choice)... In these awful times , to me it was a tragedy waiting to happen. Poor poor girl. In many respects it would be great for this piece of human excrement to admit to where Sierras body is, in order to give peace to her family...on the other hand...Torres' silence will ensure he is never paroled...i think i'd choose the latter.
Thank you for the channel Bro. Love watching you Adrian!!! Wishing you so much more success! PS... I'll be having tea with my episode 😭 no coffee for me! Doctor's orders 🤣
Surely there must be a drug they could give the accused that would loosen his tongue and make him talk more freely about what he did with Sierra's body. A truth drug of some kind?? Do they exist or is that only in movies?? Great video as always thanks Adrian.
Im from this area. I now live in the central valley of Ca, but Fremont is only bout an hour away. Big city - so a lot of crime. So friggin sad. Michaela Garrett was abducted in Hayward which is just a hop skip n jump from Fremont. Crazy cuz Morgan Hill is a much "ritzier" community and considered much safer. Who the hell kills a child?? I will never ever understand those kinds of people. Much love to her family.
I remember I would see her family rallying outside the courthouse in SJ. She was such a beautiful girl and the circumstances of her death. was even more shocking because Morgan Hill is a very low crime town.
Excellently written and narrated!! One of the best series available!! Glad to have come across it!! The moving and energetic pace is perfect: it maintains the requisite ‘drive’ and momentum to keep our attention, yet is always clear and never rushed __
If I was the judge in this case I would offer the accused a plea bargain to disclose his confession and wearabouts of Sierra's body for a lesser sentence
Why the heck wouldn't he offer the location for a reduced sentence? The evidence was definitely there that he at least assaulted her. But come on why store someone's clothes if you aren't going to kill them? How on earth they didn't find her body...
Maybe he sold her to some weirdos from his trailer park after assaulting her and they drove across the country with her and tossed her body somewhere remote
This and Polly Klaas were big in my home especially Polly Klaas's case, since she went missing from here. But in another note, how are you still in business?!?! Honey oat latte being cheaper than a regular latte??? How are you doing this?
I feel like with school districts there’s nothing in the planning of bus routes to ensure the safety of their students. Like I heard that Sierra was the only person who was at her school bus stop . She would have been safer if she had other students with her. So I feel like bus routes should be planned to reduce the risk of kidnapping by planning each stop for multiple students so there’s safety in numbers
I was in HS in 2005-2009 and they would text our parent if we were missing even a single period. I hope they do that everywhere these days. They should have threaten him with death unless he gave up the body...
This is so sad......My prayers and condolences go out to her family and that hopefully, someday her body will be found. Her parents deserve the closure they so desperately need and that one day, they can finally lay their babygirl to rest. 🙏
Usually the bodies are places the murderers know well and visit often… she has to be somewhere he frequented often. Like his phone pings etc. Hope she is found soon, it’s been far too long.
I’ll never understand how we as a society allow sex offenders (especially child sex offenders) to rejoin society. It’s proven time and time again that they always reoffend.
Oh my god, this happened in my hometown. My older sister went to school with the suspect. I never thought this case would be covered. Sierra Lamar's disappearance had a major influence on my life- my family's rules got stricter, curfews were set and we always had to keep our parents updated whenever we left the house. It had been a while since I last checked up on the case I admit, but I'm glad I found that it was solved when this video showed up in my recommended section. Her name stood out to me like a sore thumb, and I'm delighted to know that her case was finally put to rest. Thank you for covering this one, and I pray that the family find peace.
@@leshynezvaloare8044 yes and no. They convicted someone but never found the body. Personally I think her body is in the quicksilver mines. It’s easy to access.
@@whitedragoness23 I did follow the rules, thankfully. I wasn’t about to risk my own life like that, tragedies can happen to anyone at any time, it’s selfish like that. But great question! Hopes this quells your curiosity.
@@leshynezvaloare8044 To me “solved” is convicting someone. Unfortunately her body has not been found, though there were rumors that she was thrown in a canal of sorts. Hopefully she will be found soon.
What does that really have to do with the relevant stat that abusers typically were abused themselves? That statement doesn't help improve anything at all. Yes, not everyone with a bad childhood turns bad, but bad people tend to have bad childhoods. Attacking that problem can lead to less bad people, but your statement is an argument against that, which makes no sense.
i agree 100 percent and i suffer from mental health but i would never even attempt to try n justify something like this with the bs excuse of mental health cuz again i am borderline skitso , demanic depressant , bi-polar , and i cant member the last terms they used but it means a lack of remorse or feeling of differentiating love to death i look and feel the same about it all but that is and would never be a excuse or even attempt to justify or withdraw myself from anything of this sort ... smfh
@Richard Homan , Being that sociopaths know right from wrong, I think that sociopaths make a choice, and need to deal with the consequences like anybody else. People who blame their decisions on prior childhood traumas are looking for sympathy. Where's the sympathy when a sociopath willingly hurts another person or animal, and know that they are wrong in doing so?
Right? That poor wife and child. I hope she divorced him right away. He is a monster. To deny he did it with overwhelming evidence is awful. He is definitely going to the hottest place possible after death which he deserves🔥
@@jupiterthree5228 Um, that’s not how that works. You have to be truly remorseful, see the error of your ways and you have to atone. Forgiveness is only given to those who are genuinely sorry.
@@jupiterthree5228 how do you know ? Truly I’m trying to understand forgiveness and have been studying common beliefs and scripture. It tends to lead me to more questions than answers. I can only come up with God knowing our hearts and minds and of course the decision is up to Him on who enters the Kingdom of Heaven. Your statement is a popular belief- but I’m wondering, how do you know this to be true?
I went to Washington too knew both sisters from cheer. So terrible it was hard searching for her out there. We had to wear boots to cover our legs from ticks and other bugs around the fields.
Went to school with her, cheered on her team, watched her best friends mourn her loss, was at the searches and fundraisers, even sang her happy birthday on birthdays she wasn’t there for. this case has never let anyone who knew her rest, even to this day.
He claimed he went fishing that day right? Not sure if there’s any evidence to corroborate that, but it does make me think that he probably took her to a body of water. I pray that one day she will be recovered so she and her family may know peace and closure.
a great observation. its entirely possible that, not knowing what the cops had figured out, he mentioned fishing to cover his bases in case they had evidence or testimony placing him at a local lake or whatnot.
Yes! Specially when he sais that he strangled a snake inside his car and did throw a used tissue out of the window to the location where he left her school bag. It is like he was speaking in code. I am sure that police did look into that. Possibly just not in wide enough circle. He was gone for a FULL DAY! Hmm...wonder if his phone records did show his locations on that day? But none of that was mentioned in the video. He might not had his phone with him during that day 🤔
this is why even in high school I walked with my daughters to their bus stop and stayed or took them to school. I was lucky to be able to do this. as I didnt have to work, my kids used to get annoyed but the other kids at the bus stops over the years seemed to find comfort that I was there with all of them. :)
@@thatscool1550 My point is when my daughter, annoyed, grinds her teeth and says "I'm fine. DON'T WORRY......". I don't mind being disliked because I look out for her safety as much as I can.
I can't imagine having my daughter not only assumed dead, but having no clue where she is for all of those years. I feel like that's the worst ever torture. I hope they can find her and put her to rest. The family deserves closure.
I hate that word "closure". Its the most misused word in murder cases. This young girl was murdered by this vile coward. Her future was cruelly snatched away from her, her family lives with this every day. Murder, especially of children, never gets "easier" to live with. I hope that everyday he is tormented and pummeled by other prisoners. At least in California prisons, other prisoners have a severe distain for this kind of predator.
There is a tried and true way to extract that info from the murderer: torture. Sadly, too many people care more about the murderer than the victims, so this is illegal.
@@nealkelly9757 Torture isn't tried and true though. People would say anything to make the pain stop; they might even lie. So you might end up convicting the wrong person
That’s what I am thinking aswell , it’s so sad as I was watching this on my TV I had to get my phone out to comment because a poor little girl went through the unthinkable , when you hear these cases not sure about you lot but by nature for me you start to imagine what happen and it sickens you , she must’ve got forced into the car forced to sexual actions then killed whilst she’s terrified this whole time , fuck man I got to stop watching these videos this case fucked me up man , rest in peace Sierra life is fucked life is unfair and I just don’t understand it
Adrian, you report on these brutally tragic, highly emotive crimes in such a respectful, softly spoken, concise yet fully informed way, you're by far my favourite crime utube channel. Many congratulations on your well over a million subscribers over such a short period. Thoroughly deserved, and I'm certain that this number will continue to keep growing. Much love and respect from a fellow Brit.
This could've been me... 32yrs ago I was 15yrs old and while walking to the bus stop to go to school a stranger tried to force me in his car. I was extremely lucky to have gotten away. Later I learned he did kidnap and rape another 15yr old girl. He was sentenced to prison but for all I know he may be out by now. The experience changed my life - it made me trust people less and be hyper aware of my surroundings. Prayers to the family of Sierra. I hope they are able to find some peace and closure 🙏
One night walking home from school a man followed me. I crossed the street 3 times to make sure I wasn’t being paranoid and there he was getting closer each time. Just as he thought I was turning a corner, I ran up the stairs of a strange house and pretended I lived there and started yelling I forgot my keys. He looked at me and ran off. After that I started going home different ways and at different times when my dad couldn’t meet me at the train.
@@ParahSalin not having a routine is honestly helpful sometimes . You don’t want to give someone the ability to watch you for a week & be able to catch you when you’re weakest .
For him to just sit there with no emotion or remorse while her family plead for her body just shows how evil and psychopathic he is. Rest In Heaven Siera no one can ever hurt you!!!!
I live near her. There were vehicles EVERYWHERE with pictures of her taped to the back windows. The search was absolutely massive. Even after the official search was called off, hundreds of volunteers would show up every single weekend looking for her. Many are still searching, even these years later. This tragedy really struck the community hard. I hope some day she is found, and that the murderer who doesn't deserve to have his named mentioned rots and dies in prison.
@Zarp Sterr tbh with crimes this cruel, torture is the least they could do. Starvation, isolation, cutting off hands and body parts. If in other countries people are afraid to break the law due to the punishments, why doesn't our country? Is it because they protect pedophiles at all costs? Same for murderers and rapists? With harsher punishment people would be more afraid to break these laws.
Criminals have rights, they are human beings… not law abiding citizens !!! WOKE ignorance brings crisis to the world!! They care about homeless and illegal immigrants as well, but anyone would care them enough to host some of them home?!? None! Because they know they could be dangerous in many ways!! Hypocrites big time
I'm the same age Sierra would've been. I find it pretty irresponsible that the school waited until that night to alert her parents of her absence. When I was in HS, we would get a call home if we were absent from any class without a call-in from a parent in the morning informing them of an absence
Neither my middle or HS ever notified my mother when I skipped. My son is still in grade school, but if I don't call before 9am (class starts at 8) I get a call from his school.
Same as you (I'm 23) and my HS would never notify my stepdad. My Mom ran off with some dude and it was just my step dad around...barely. I have two younger siblings and if one of them went missing the school wouldn't care enough until it was too late. I was in Navarre FL and the school always had their doors unlocked.
It's kinda pathetic at this point since all evidence is pointed to him. If he didn't do it (I hardly believe that) then why stay quiet. It makes you look worse. He's delusional about his innocence and is holding onto nothing. :/
@@louisehudson1915 Exactly. Psychopaths like him get off on controlling others and the location of Sierra's body is the only card he has left in his possession. He'll likely take that card with him to the grave (death being the only time that he leaves prison). He's a sad, evil, petulant, pathetic sack of sh!t and a complete loser.
My heart goes out to the family, can not even dare to feel what she and her family must been through. 😭 A case suggestion: Shaariibuugiin Altantuya, a mongolian, was killed in Malaysia brutally. Despite its’ horrendous and violent circumstance, it got little recognition and exposure. As a mongolian who followed the news at the time, it was heartbreaking to see justice failed. I really find Adrian’s delivery of heartbreaking true crimes respectful, and hope you would see this comment to shed some light on this case. Thank you
From Singapore and yes this case should be investigated thoroughly! Justice has not been served in that case. I hope her family will get the closure they deserve soon. Aamiin!
I live a couple of miles from where this took place. I remember I was in elementary school. From one day to the other, you can see all the efforts taken to look for her. I remember not fully understanding what happened, but as I got older, I realized the proper gravity. Also, if my memory serves me correctly, the San Jose police received a call about an undressed skeleton in a dried river bed a couple of miles from where the incident occurred. Still no updates as to who the skeleton belonged to.
I'm Australian and am pleased to say one of our states has passed a "no body=no parole" law. I'm hoping all States will follow suit, and it would be wonderful if it became standard in similar justice systems worldwide. We might have embarassingly poor sentencing protocol but at least there's a start on doing things right.
He must’ve drove east and buried her body in the wilderness or the Sierra Nevada mountains. If they can determine what time he returned home, they might be able to narrow down where he went.
Yeah I don’t think he went very far? I feel like maybe they should have watched cameras of nearby stores and tried to track when his car returned home. I used to live in this area, there’s plenty of stores/homes where he lived that could have provided that?
13:16 Someone can have an horrible childhood, horrible parents, being beaten up and abused and be decent human beings. I know, it happened to me. The only thing it did beside nightmares is that I make sure not to act like this with anyone. I'm tired to hear lawyer utilizes this as an excuse for theirs clients.
It's not an excuse, it's an explanation as to how someone can end up like that. Everyone is different and there are different variables to consider - The age of abuse The depth of abuse The length of abuse Personality Possible loving relationships inside and outside of home Etc. We can empathize with what he experienced as a child, while simultaneously holding him accountable for his actions as an adult. Hopefully you have received proper therapy and support. Without it, the nightmare can continue. Wishing you health and happiness.
Yeah, I agree & it's unconscionable. I wonder if his attorney had any children, & how they'd have felt if their defense had actually worked? They'd be watching their children every minute of the day knowing they "beat the system" & got a nasty killer off the hook.
Yes it’s a shame many are abused so early and long in their childhoods. These people don’t go out killing people. The one’s who do know they are having thoughts they shouldn’t have. They don’t seek help and act out on them.
Thank you to all the volunteers who kept on looking. May her remains be found and laid to rest by her loving family. Thanks also Adrian your narrative is done so well.
I had a horrible childhood, all kinds of abuse ....know what I did? I healed and started 2 business ...1 is very successful . I get sick and tired of blaming abuse issues. One word he's an Animal
Nooo but it was the toxins!!! (I’m joking if it’s not clear) The defense is doing their job pulling up the most random of information to try and get their client off. If I were rebutting them I’d get all his neighbors and see how many of them-also exposed to those chemicals-were prowling for and attacking women
They probably opted for no death penalty because there was no body found. They want him to disclose the location of the body. He cant do that if he's dead. Also there's no motivation for him to do so if he's already sentence for death.
It takes YEARS though before they perform the death penalty. It’s not like he gets sentenced now and then next week he’s dead. They’re also in solitary the entire time. Usually that gets them talking.
@A Whim Away Pretty sure he’s not exactly having an easy time of things while in general population, as “struggle snugglers” like him aren’t particularly well-liked by the other inmates, moreso if their victim(s) happen to be underaged at the time of being victimized. 😒
That’s what lawyers have to do, even if they think the person they are defending is guilty, it’s probably the worst part of being a lawyer but that’s what a defense attorney does
people so horrible things all the time. I cannot understand how can people think that gay people, trans people or homeless people don't deserve to live. It is just people unaware of others experience
Whoever's reading this, I pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever you're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day!
Pffffffff with 27 registered sex offenders in that area (and how many not yet caught?), I can imagine that walking to the bus stop every day was like playing the lottery. For Sierra and for other kids who have to do the same.... Everything is just so broken on so many levels...😔
This case I have known for years, it sits in my mind because the body has never been found. Therefore, the family cannot give their child a proper funeral and burial. I think that is the saddest part for me.
Adrian, it's always refreshing to see people make the focal point on the victim rather than the perpetrator when covering true crime videos. It helps to rob the evildoers of that limelight that they sickly crave. You have a gift of compassion when presenting these cases, and although it's terrible that these things happen, i'd rather watch it be covered by someone like you. Cheers m8.
This case is so sad as a parent we want to see our children grow and accomplish their dreams. What's worse is that they have not even found a body to give them complete closure. I hope her family finds the strength and courage to continue life and wherever she is that she is at peace.
This is why lawyers get a bad name, because lots of them have to lie if their patient is guilty. Like, duh, it's their job but seriously. At least make up a convincing lie 🙄
As a boy I lived in alot of boys homes , and seen alot just disappear,. I to ended up running away , but now have great family and grandfather of 3 . . I'm one of the Lucy ones but will write book for others one day
"The pesticide made me do it." The pathetic defense killers make really is astounding. But man, what a heartbreaking case. I wonder, did the prosecutor offer Torez a plea deal in exchange for telling where Sierra is? Perhaps that could have gotten him to reveal her location.
This case is particularly heartbreaking, Sierra seemed to be a funny, talented and obviously beautiful girl and this awful man not only destroyed her life, but her poor family’s too. As a mom I can’t imagine the pain her parents live with daily. My condolences. I hope someday Sierra can be properly laid to rest.
It’s just disgusting that the victim’s father was a sex offender as well. And this type of behavior would seal her own fate. It would be remarkable if they found a body 10+ years later, but I’m glad there was still justice for her. RIP Sierra 🤍
I’m confused, what’s he got to do with this? Just because he did a terrible thing, doesn’t mean he’s not allowed to be upset for his daughter. Are you saying this is karma?
@@hendyo_98 He is allowed to grieve for his daughter. What happened to her was absolutely terrible. And I would not wish that on anyone. However it does sound like karma. And it came tenfold for him.
@@jd32k i don’t think I need to explain why being a sex offender is disgusting. She was deprived of a father for being a sex offender and her life was taken by a sex offender. It’s unfortunate that she had a father with the same sick and twisted actions and fantasies as her killer. As hard as it would be that your dad committed the same crimes as her killer and coming into contact with another sex offender sealed her fate. What’s the issue?
@@hendyo_98 it would take a sick and twisted individual to say this was karma or vengeance.

Thank you for covering this case. This happened just miles away from my city and on the day my mom was diagnosed with cancer, so I remember it so clearly. Sad end to both Sierra and my mom. Sadder for Sierra as she was so young and at least my mom had all her family at her bedside, but Sierra was on her own. May her soul RIP. 😢 🙏 💗
I am from the UK London and to hear a case like this from what looks like a rural area is so sad , poor little girl , you got to imagine how horrific this is , a little girl got raped horrifically by a disgusting disturbed individual , then killed , I feel sick right now because when you see these stories it’s by nature you really think about how it all played out , Rest in peace to the girl life is cruel and unfair and also sorry to hear about that, you know life is a bitch
Thank you for all the devotion and hard work you put into all your research Adrian. Could you please consider making a video on the “Kibwetere massacre” that happened in Uganda? Thank you in advance.
There's zero excuse that he or his attorney could come up with to justify his disgusting, destructive behavior. My heart goes out to the family and to Sierra their self. May they be at peace.
Everyone has a right for a lawyer and the lawyer is just doing his job. If the dude claims he is not responsible because pesticides melted his only three existing braincells, that's what the lawyer's got to go with
What an absolute tragedy, anything involving children is just heart-breaking to say the least. I appreciate all the research and detailed explanations that go into your videos Adrian! You're the best.
I feel for Sierra's family, the not knowing would be an unbearable burden for them all. I hope Sierra is found for her family to have closure. The chances, Sierra is alive is not promising, hopefully the truth will be known.
Such an awful situation, I do hope her family find peace someday, the fact a body hasn't been found, he threw out all her stuff and money and there's no direct evidence of her being killed though, I don't know why but I get a odd feeling there is more to this, her young age, routine, his knowing where she'd be and when and the fact he had no interest in any cash, I'm wondering if he could have assaulted the poor girl and sold her to some form of organised sex trafficking ring or something, a search that vast, the disposal of all of the identifiable belongings and her apparent total disappearance from anywhere local in such a relatively small amount of time just screams of her being transported to a third party to me and his silence on the matter may be in an attempt to not end up dead in prison... If he's tried it multiple times prior at a place he works, there is a very real chance that there was a financial incentive for the kidnapping attempts to me and the tazer shows a degree of premeditation I'd not expect from a random pedo. I hope he gets absolutely hammered in jail for what it's worth but I hold out some faint hope that the lass may still be alive, although, if my assumptions are correct I would hate to imagine her suffering continuing further. 😞 I have spent a great deal of my adult life working with kids that age, many of whom are from very vulnerable backgrounds where stuff like this does happen and it's just a feeling but this case just gives me some unnerving feeling it could be a similar situation...
Thank you for covering Sierra’s 🕊 story Adrian. I’m from the Bay Area and I remember seeing the search covered on the news! Of course we were all hoping/praying she got home safe… The killer not being willing to confess or tell where Sierra’s remains are is truly cold hearted. I feel for all of her loved ones, especially her mom, I’m sure she may have felt regret for moving to that area… it’s all so sad. Rest on beautiful 💛
"Rest on Beautiful" has to be, one of the most "Heart-felt and comforting" sign offs ever heard...at least for me Simone. I actually had Goosebumps. 💛xx
I still live here and many of us believe that she's in one of our many local bodies of water! She could be in the Bay for all we know. He has obviously done a better job than Scott Peterson. I think Scottie didn't take into account the strong tidal surges that occur in some inlets and oddly enough, not in others.
